they will be reported as soon as
secured. We mail a copy of this
paper to each delegate in our State,
that they may see something of the
important matters that will be con-
sidered by the Convention, and to
give them an opportunity of formu-
lating their ideas on one or more of
these subjects, for presentation before
that body. We hope to hear from
many Of our delegates, and the Con-
vention will expect it. Of course
there will be other matters before the
body, and all of them, no doubt, will
be interesting and important.

A FAIR SAMPLE.

A letter from one of the leading
farmers of Cabarrus county says /:
awe are having delightful seasons,
though fer the last week the nights
have been rather cool for cotton.
Wheat good !; spring oats very fine !;
clover and grasses magnificent, and
the prospects for corn the best l have
ever SEEN" And thus the farmers
talk in all sections of our State. May
they reap a gl%oriously bountiful har-
vest, and again establish themselves
in the only safe rule of having their
farm supplies at home. Let them re-
solve to do this and their prosperity
and independence are assured.

CHANGE OF TIME-THE PIKE
VILE DINNER.

The Pikeville Farmers Club will
hold their dinner on Wednesday,
Aug. Sd, instead. of Friday, Aug. 5th,
as heretofore announced. The editor
of this paper will be present and adj
dress the farmers. Let there be a
grand rally and large crowd present.
Mr.. j. E. Person, President of the
Club, writes :
We had a large meeting last Satur-
day had 10 applications for member
ship. We now number AZ, which I
think a very fine showing for only a
months organization. The officers
are J. 3, Person, President !; w. II.
Ham, Vice-President w. E. Ham,
Secretary J. P. Smith, Treasurer.
I think when you come we will be
able to get a goodly number of the
club to take your paper. I showed
the copy sent me to some of the read,
ing members, who seemed to like it,
and expressed surprise that it had
never been introduced in this section.
We will do our best to have a large
crowd on the occasion of the address
and dinner. We will also endeavor
to make your visit as pleasant as pos
sible. Z
If | can in any way give any infor-
nation you desire, let me hear from
you. Yours truly,

Farmers, think on this question, IF
you will examine the histories Of tho
nations that have preceded us, Won
will find the degeneracy of the peonla
was caused by the degeneracy of the
soil. An easy way to redeem land is
to pillow two or three times and harrow
after each blowing then apply three
to four hundred pounds of guano per
acre and sow in rye and clover. The
rye. should be .sown (both rye and
clover) during the month of August
certainly not later than the 10th Of
September. The rye can be cut the
year after and the land should not be
cultivated again for at least three or
four years. No clover should be cut,
and the land should not be pastured,
Then it could be well plowed and well
narrowed and seeded to wheat and
clover. After that, with proper care,
it should yield equal to any land on the
place. The rye should more than paw
for the fertilizers. If each farmer
would take five or ten or twenty acres
of waste land each year and SOW in rye
and clover instead of letting it clay
out" in ten or fifteen years there
would be no waste land (old felds) in
North Carolina. The reason for SOW
ing the clover in August is to get
sufficient depth of root to withstand
any "dry spell" the next summer.
The heat Of the sun never killed a
stalk of clover in North Carolina. But
the heat of the sun and the wind have
dryed the earth below the young
clover roots and caused the young
plant to die of thirst.
Plow deep, p%ulverize the ground
we'll with the harrow, and you need
have no fear of not getting a stand,
unless we should have such an UMPIRE
cedented drought as we had last fall.
